Last week the Dauphin Rotary Club held their annual spring book sale at the United Church Auditorium on Third Avenue Northwest in Dauphin.
According to coordinator Jean Louis Guillas, this was their most successful book sale ever.
It was fantastic. It was the first time we’ve ever had two snowstorm events, one during collection and one that bookended us at the end of the sale, but it turned out with the best sale ever.
In total, the 3-day sale raised over $7,900 with all the funds going towards several projects the club will be working on in the community including scholarships, an upcoming grant program as well as helping send kids to a leadership camp in the province.
Jean Louis also said if not for the support of the community the book sale would have never been this successful.
Kudos to the community for bringing us such a fantastic quality of donations. It's what makes our sale. People know they're going to find good quality books and a great selection and that's why they keep coming back. It's really heartening to know that the community looks to us for that and supports us both by buying books and by donating fantastic quality of books.
The Rotary Club typically holds two book sales a year and Jean Louis said the next one will likely be in the fall but more details will come once they confirm dates and a location.
